PHYSICAL PLANT:
Norbert Bisek reported the gate servicing company, All Tec, has made
the needed repairs to the gates. He will contact that company about
the need to clean the grease off the hinges when they do the routine
maintenance. The electrical receptacles he installed at the gates
are ready for next year's holiday lights.

A $1,700 bid has
been received from one company and another bid is pending on the
street repairs needed for a low area on the north end of Greenside
Place.

LANDSCAPE:
Hank Glieden reported a tree lost to frost damage near the west gate
will be replaced with a heartier variety. Dave Morales has suggested
usinq either a royal cork oak, pastiche to Texas Laurel. An ocotillo
has been replaced in the west commons area and a clean up in the
wash next top the golf course has nearly been completed.

IARC/COMPLIANCE:
John Scarlott reported two home owners have submitted requests for
exterior painting.

OLD BUSINESS:

1. A Torres
Blancas gift card was purchased for Dave Morales. Dave very much
appreciated the compliment from our members for a job well done and
treated his crew to lunch.

2. Hank Glieden
reported on the Gate Beautification Project and "wish list" from
some of our members.

a. The bids have
been received from the painting contractors. The gate colors will
remain the same and the damage from last winter's freeze will be
repaired by the contractor at a cost of $744.

b. The cost of
adding "East" and "West" to the existing Links entrance siqns is
prohibitive at $100 per letter and there is not enough room to add
to the words. A fresh coat of gold paint will be added to the
existing lettering. A suggestion was to explore the idea of adding
street signs at the entrances as the Greens HOA has done.

c. The safety
concern has been addressed by cutting the privet bushes at the west
gate so they no longer block the view of oncoming traffic.

d. The walls will
not be repainted at this time. This suggestion will be addressed at
a later time. Norbert may touch up the paint near the ground when
weather is warmer. Discoloration in that area is inevitable.

e. Dave Morales
has submitted his written bid, the landscaping plan and photos of
the plantings. The plans include using mounds, cacti, and a rock
veneer around the utility boxes. He also suggested
replacing/replanting Rosemary bushes at the east gate. Dave can
begin the landscaping upgrades as soon as the Board approves his
proposal.

MOTION:
Express Painting will be hired to repair and repaint the gates and
railings when the weather permits. MMSC

MOTION:
A motion was made to approve and accept Dave Morales upgrades and
landscaping proposals which will be within the Links Landscaping
Budget. MMSC
